cultural background
Miao nationality is a nation that can sing and dance well. Everyone can sing and dance. For thousands of years, songs and dances have accompanied the history of the Miao nationality and vividly reflected the life of the Miao nationality. Miao songs and dances are full of wild interest, simple and rough style, which can best express their sincere and simple thoughts and feelings, and can also make people feel the truth, goodness and beauty of folk art. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Miao songs and dances were well-known in Beijing and made a sensation.
"Biography of Song Shinan Manqu Nanman" contains: "One person plays a gourd ladle, like the sound of gnats, and dozens of people dance hand in hand, taking the foot as the festival." In fact, Miao dance originated very early. From its primitive and simple style, we can see that many dances are related to funeral sacrifices, love and marriage, production and life, but they were not recorded in ancient times, only found in history books since the Ming Dynasty.
